Advice on examining potential purchase

Hello -

I am considering buying a 37 Zephyr that has been taken apart for restoration. Having bought old cars in the past and restored a car, I know the general things to look for, but am interested if anyone has *Zephyr-specific* advice with regard to:

1. Key components that I should make sure are there or discount accordingly (the owner says it is complete, but of course, things get lost in the shuffle).

2. Body-related issues, such as rust-prone spots, etc.

I know any time you buy a car apart it's a gamble, but any help you can give me with regard to the Zephyrs that will improve my odds would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
